How I delete docker image?

Question

Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete 529072250ccc (cannot be forced) - image is being used by running container 5da200b36c1e

How I delete docker image ?

docker ps is Nothing.

CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

But I can't delete image. Commands I have tried

docker kill 5da200b36c1e
docker rmi -f 529072250ccc

After doing this, the image disappears once but comes back again.

Or sometimes the IMAGE does not disappear.

Have you tried `docker kill 5da200b36c1e`? Or rebooting the computer? — ceejayoz, Nov 05 '22 at 13:22
Correct, but your error says you can't delete the IMAGE because there's a CONTAINER running. **So kill the container.** — ceejayoz, Nov 05 '22 at 20:54

Check all available containers with docker ps -a and see whether the mentioned container with the ID is there. Have a look on its status.

You can try either removing it using docker rm 5da200b36c1e or kill it using docker kill 5da200b36c1e.

Once it is done, check whether the container is still listed with docker ps -a and if so check the status. You may try deleting the image again after this.

As per the question description, it should be the container ID. – Sahan Gunathilaka Nov 05 '22 at 13:37
From the log shown 5da200b36c1e is the container id and 529072250ccc the image id. – Alez Nov 05 '22 at 13:40

You have to stop the container first:

docker stop 5da200b36c1e

and then remove the image:

 docker rmi -f 529072250ccc
